Justin Trudeau says Canadians ‘deserve better’ than the PQ charter

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau expressed disappointment in Quebec’s proposed “Charter of Values.” Trudeau says Premier Pauline Marois is trying to force people to choose between their work and their religion.

“Mme. Marois has a plan, she has an agenda, she’s trying to play divisive identity politics because it seems to be the only thing that is able to distract from the serious economic challenges that we’re facing as a province and as a country,” Trudeau said at a press conference Wednesday. “But Canadians and Quebecers are better than that.”
